So are the pickup head gasket and the 240 head gasket interchangeable? It lists the gaskets for the pickup.

Yeah i looked at the similar page for the 240sx, and they only list the ones for ka24de. But yes the headgasket for the truck/240 ka24e is identical.

You dont happen to know the OE gasket's thickness off hand do you? I dont really want to up or down in CR unless i absolutely have to.

the oem thickness is .040-.047" (ones that i have measured, different aftermarket oem type brands, crushed). So that copper one nearest 1mm or a tad bit over will keep your CR the same.
